Free friday - What to do with my collecting guy?

M is a collector, of paper, vintage book covers, vintage furniture... everything vintage really. This has some advantages: we have some pretty nice furniture in our home for example. M has a 'good noose' for these things as he also sells lots of books and things online and adds a little extra something to our savings with doing so.
But, you might have seen this coming... there is a downside to this all and it's called: clutter. Especially concerning paper and magazine cuttings.
Last week I needed (well needed, needed, it is my fave shop after all) to pay a visit to Vlieger in Amsterdam. There I found some very pretty envelopes made of old books and paper. A little lightbulb popped up and there was my solution to my man's hoarding-habits: we could make so much pretty envelopes with all that paper! (forgive my late adaption, I know lots of people have been before me, but I'm still pretty smitten with my idea).

And because it's Free Friday, I'm sharing my envelope templates with you!
I made a big envelop (postcard size) and a small one, you can download.

ABOUT ME

Welcome to my blog! I'm an illustrator and arts teacher living - with my love M, our son J and pet rabbit Seb - in a small town just above Amsterdam (the Netherlands). When I'm not illustrating I love to bake, cook, sew clothes for me and my loved ones (I studied fashion design a long time ago) or read a good book, preferably in our garden.
I hope you enjoy this blog!
